My 10 All Time Favorite Albums: Part 1

Hey Monster Munch!
So Today I was with Phil, and we were discussing what we could both blog about tonight, his previous blogs were brought up as we discussed how his most read blogs were the ones with were supposedly "scandalous and controversial", to which he received a huge backlash, yet ones such as his "My 10 All Time Favorite Albums" didn't get as many views or comments. Whereas I appreciated his blog post on albums, because it wasn't out there, and people couldn't rile up against it, it wasn't as successful as his "I'd Suckle Those Teats".
However, I enjoyed looking at his music taste, and being the one in the group with the "worst music taste in history", I decided I would respond with one of my own, except I will be doing one album a day!

Marina and the Diamonds- Electra Heart.

I absolutely adore this album, I didn't really give it a listen until I'd say at the end of 2013, and its now the end of 2014 and I still listen to this album everyday. I adore her uniqueness, straight from the first verse of the very first song you can already relate to this album "I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out, because that's what young love is all about". You can listen to this song anywhere, be that on a bus straight home or at a sleepover with all your girls jumping around on a bed. We all experience what we think is love when we're young so we can all relate, "Oh dear diary, I met a boy... Oh Diary, we fell apart"
 Then we have the famous "Primadonna" which is my soul song, I swear all diva's will understand this song and say its speaks to them, "I wanna be adored."

I'll skip along to "Power and Control,which to me has an eerie kind of feel, Its about the power struggle in a relationship "Women and men we are the same, but love, but love must be a game.. eternal game of tug of war." I love the whole feel to this song, mystic and dreamlike, I also listened to this song a lot when my best friend was facing abuse from her boyfriend. 
My personal favorite was "Teen Idle" which is about depression and suicide, when Alice died, I think I listened to this song on repeat for about a week. It made me think of what she had gone through, it made me think of everyone else around me that felt trapped. 
"I wanna be a bottle blonde
I don’t know why but I feel conned
I wanna be an idle teen
I wish I hadn’t been so clean"

But also I saw myself in the lyrics, I mean I've never considered that I was depressed or anything like that, I was always content with who I was, and I always knew where I stood, I was Lisa, I was loved and I had loads of friends and I was doing well for my self, so suicide never had the chance to cross my mind, I was genuinely a really happy person, so I never really thought about how others might be effected by it. But when Alice died, It woke me up and  I suppose I allowed my self to fall in a abyss of self pity for a while, I was 17, my soul sister was dead, I'd never been in a real relationship ,never been touched. Before I held that as a beacon "I'm untouchable, a pure figure amongst the dirt" I used to announce proudly, I was a silly girl.  But then after Alice, everything around me, exams and school all felt like a waste of time, instead of being in a classroom, I should have been with Alice experiencing life, what use would Pythagoras be in a life and death situation? But I don't mean to say this song made me feel shit, but rather it made me understand things more. I finally got what Alice had been saying, It dawned on me what real sadness feels like.How the world feels like its over.
So, this album helped me to release some feelings that I couldn't really get out by myself! Needless to say I love Marina!
